Report by Cam Petrie:

There were several important moments of the game including:

Chris Badger didn't turn up as he didn't realise he was playing.

CJ was caught at cow in the first over with the fielder out there for that very shot.

Tom Serby and Marcus Baker built solidly but were kept in check by tight bowling.

Ben Stone hit a six through the netting at cow before top edging a catch.

Neil managed to connect with a reverse sweep, and played the latest cut in recorded history - just before the ball hit the stumps - and also hit a boundary.

Both sides had success bowling faster with the wind and slower against.

Bustards started quickly but then got strangled by Joe and Ben who had great figures.

Marcus caught the Bustard keeper (50+ year of 2060 edition - current under 16 rep) who skied one high enough for Marcus at mid off to have time to pull up both sleeves and then pouch the catch.

John Moore claimed a set Bustard with his first ball, whose eyes lit up at the prospect of not facing Joe and Ben.

Bustard talisman Richie Young dug in and built a match winning partnership until - after goading from his own captain standing at square leg umpiring - he perished trying to hit a six to win the game and picked out CJ at cow who had been out there for that very shot.
